HURON — Bowling Green State University Firelands Library is hosting an exhibit of books, journals and artifacts about the Great Lakes and its historical shipwrecks through the end of December.
The exhibit features a life ring from the SS Edmund Fitzgerald on loan from the Great Lakes Historical Society. The Fitzgerald was lost with everyone on board on Nov. 10, 1975.
The Great Lakes Historical Society also donated the complete run of the journal “Inland Seas,” 1945 to the present, now a permanent addition to the library.
The display was coordinated by Justice with the assistance of Firelands librarians Pat Antonelli and Sharon Britton, archivist Robert Graham at BGSU and the Great Lakes Historical Society in Vermilion.
The library hours are: 8 a.m. to 8:30 p.m. Mondays through Thursdays, 8 a.m. to 5 p.m. Fridays and 9 a.m. to 1 p.m. Saturdays.
